hello,
Something very bizare just happend with my computer speakers. I just installed a Text to Speech software on my computer, and as I was using the software one of my two speakers completely cut out and the second speaker lost about 80% of its volume. I tried unplugging/power serging my speakers but when i plugged them back in they didn't work at all. I then tried to plug my speakers into a different speaker jack (i have two on my computer) and it still didn't work. I dont have a second set of speakers to try out, so instead i used my headphones to see if they'de work, and they dont work either. Every once in a while i'm able to get one speaker working at 20% but that happens randomly with use of different programs.
What's the problem here? Im worried that the issue isn't my speakers but internal. Did i blow my sound card or something? Any suggestions?

I'm not too sure how to check my speaker type. As for reinsalling the Sound Card, i cant seem to find my computer cd so i'm downloading the Realtek AC97 Audio software right now, hopeing that will work.
Do you seem to think that this is a fixable problem, or is it more likely that something is broken? It seems odd that my sound cut out so suddenly.
